Barbarian Stats Priorities

Table of Contents

In this guide, we list the stats priority for each of your item slots.
These priorities can be used to determine if an item is an upgrade over
another item, and they will also save you gold and resources that you might
otherwise have wasted trying to reforge for the wrong stats.

None of the tables below consider the special case of legendary
items with exclusive stats, such as Cindercoat being the only
Torso item with Fire Damage, or specific end-game builds that use
their own priorities.
